Just the video.

Paste a YouTube link and watch it with just the player.

Even faster: just swap the domain

The player uses the same URL format as YouTube. Replace youtube.com with www.embedyoutube.com in any video link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
https://www.embedyoutube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Questions

Which links are supported?

Regular watch links (youtube.com/watch?v=…), short links (youtu.be/…), Shorts, live streams, embed links and plain 11-character video IDs.

Does it block ads?

No. The video is played through YouTube's official embedded player, so YouTube's normal rules for ads and playback apply.

Why won't some videos play?

Video owners can disable embedding. Those videos can only be watched on YouTube itself.
